Are you sure? I was reading that just your tow vehicle needs to be registered with the office. I'm probably wrong thou. I'm going out there this season sometime. 3 hour haul for me.
That`s for Reading Anthracite property you can get away with just showing them your tow vehicle papers to get the permit.
The following list of rules and regulations were approved at a meeting of the Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area (AOAA) Authority on July 15. It is described as a “living” document that will likely change over time.
